Equipment

  • 1 Sharp knife
  • 1 large baking sheet
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 peeler

Ingredients

  • 2 ⅕ lbs potatoes (1 kilo)
  • 2 ½ oz duck fat (70 grams)
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 3 sprigs rosemary
  • ½ tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 200° C (390° F).
  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunky pieces.
  • Place the potatoes in a pan with plenty of water and bring to a boil on medium heat.
  • Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until they are slightly softened.
  • Drain the potatoes in a colander and then shake the colander to fluff them up.
  • Let them cool down while heating the duck fat until piping hot in the roasting tray.
  • When the fat is hot enough, add the seasoning, garlic, and rosemary to the fat.
  • Transfer the potatoes to the tray and give it a good stir to cover the potatoes with fat and seasoning. 
  • Place the tray in the hot oven and bake the potatoes for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, give them a shake, turn the oven down to 180° C (356° F) and cook for another 15 minutes until they are crispy and golden outside.

Notes

  • Try and cut the potatoes uniformly, the same size if possible so that they all cook at the same time.
  • If you want to achieve golden and crispy outside with fluffy and creamy inside roasted potatoes, you need to par-boil your potatoes until their surface start softening.
  • Drain the potatoes and let them dry with their own steam before putting them into the hot oil tray.
  • Don't skimp on duck fat, it adds flavor and crispiness to the potatoes.
